All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition; business strategy and plans, including anticipated and future payments of dividends and capital return plans; and market opportunity may be forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are only current expectations and predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the historical performance of GCM Grosvenor’s funds may not be indicative of GCM Grosvenor’s future results; risks related to redemptions and termination of engagements; the variable nature of GCM Grosvenor’s revenues; competition in GCM Grosvenor’s industry; effects of government regulation or compliance failures; market, geopolitical and economic conditions, identification and availability of suitable investment opportunities; risks related to the performance of GCM Grosvenor’s investments; and the other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which consists of only normal recurring items) have been made to fairly present the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and require significant management judgment or estimation.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)



Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and fees receivable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investments
Investments primarily consist of investments in GCM Funds and other funds the Company does not control, but is deemed to exert significant influence, and are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities, which reflects the net asset value of such investments. Management believes the net asset value of the funds is representative of fair value. The resulting gains and losses are included as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The Company’s equity method investments in the GCM Funds investing in private equity, real estate and infrastructure (“GCM PEREI Funds”) are valued based on the most recent available information, which typically has a delay of up to three months due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the GCM PEREI Funds. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the GCM PEREI Funds within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition during the three-month lag period. To the extent that management is aware of material events that affect the GCM PEREI Funds during the intervening period, the impact of the events would be disclosed in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain subsidiaries which hold the general partner capital interest in the GCM Funds are not wholly owned, and as such, the portion of the Company’s investments owned by limited partners in those subsidiaries are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
For certain other debt investments, the Company has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is made at the investment level at initial recognition. The debt investments are not publicly traded and are a Level 3 fair value measurement. For investments carried at fair value, the Company records the increase or decrease in fair value as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s other investments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 scopes in entities with a single reportable segment and requires those entities to provide all disclosures required in Topic 280, requires that current annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets also be provided in interim periods and requires other various new disclosures. Enhanced reporting requirements for all entities includes disclosure of (1) significant segment expenses, (2) the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) and (3) how the CODM uses disclosed measure(s) of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this guidance and currently expects that adoption will result in new disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures including disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, additional disclosures about income taxes paid, and disclosure of pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations disaggregated between domestic and foreign income or loss. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies should provide the enhanced disclosures on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is

Money Market Funds
Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Interest Rate Derivatives
Management determines the fair value of its interest rate derivative agreements based on the present value of expected future cash flows based on observable future rates applicable to each swap contract using linear interpolation, inclusive of the risk of non-performance, using a discount rate appropriate for the duration. See Note 12 for additional information regarding interest rate derivatives.
Other Investments
Investments in the subordinated notes of a structured alternatives investment solution are not publicly traded and are classified as Level 3. Management determines the fair value of these other investments using a discounted cash flow analysis (“Cash Flow Analysis”), which includes assumptions regarding the expected deployment and realization timing of private investments. The position was classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the Cash Flow Analysis as follows:

(1)In determining these inputs, management considers the following factors including, but not limited to: liquidity, estimated yield, capital deployment, diversified multi-strategy appreciation, expected net multiple of investment capital across private assets investments, annual operating expenses, as well as investment guidelines such as concentration limits, position size, and investment periods.
(2)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.
(3)The discount rate was based on the relevant benchmark rate, spread, and yield migrations on related securitized assets.
(4)Inputs were weighted based on actual and estimated expected return included in the range.
(5)Inputs were weighted based on the actual and estimated commitments to the respective private asset investments included in the range.
The resulting fair values of $11.7 million and $11.2 million were recorded within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Public Warrants
The public warrants are valued using quoted market prices on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker GCMGW.
Private Warrants
The private warrants were classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, however the overall private warrant valuation and change in fair value are not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The valuations for the private warrants were determined to be $1.06 and $0.43 per unit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The resulting fair values of $1.0 million and $0.4 million were recorded within warrant liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the warrant activity.

Stock Repurchase Plan
On August 6, 2021, GCMG’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan which may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Class A common stock and warrants may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, including with employees or otherwise, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, as well as to retire (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) equity-based awards granted under our 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (and any successor plan thereto), with the terms and conditions of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated under the terms of the plan to repurchase any of its Class A common stock or warrants, the program has no expiration date and the Company may suspend or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. Any shares of Class A common stock and any warrants repurchased as part of this program will be canceled. GCMG’s Board of Directors has made subsequent increases to its original stock repurchase authorization amount for shares and warrants. As of December 31, 2023, the total authorization was $115 million, excluding fees and expenses. On February 8, 2024, GCMG’s Board of Directors increased the firm's existing repurchase authorization by $25 million, from $115 million to $140 million.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 245,763 and 3,510,276 shares, respectively, for RSUs that were settled in cash, including amounts withheld in connection with the payment of tax withholding obligations, for $2.7 million and $33.2 million, or an average of $10.89 and $9.44 per share, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information regarding RSUs. Other than the deemed repurchases described above, the Company did not repurchase shares of Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $32.0 million remaining under the stock repurchase plan.
7. Warrants
The public and private warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and the Company records these warrants as liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at fair value, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recorded in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) at each reporting date.
Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants expire 5 years after the consummation of the Transaction, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The public warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock, upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees. CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis.
No warrants were exercised or repurchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company had 16,784,970 of public warrants and 900,000 of private warrants outstanding as of each of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
8. Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates certain VIEs when it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company holds variable interests in certain entities that are VIEs which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s involvement with such entities is generally in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the entities in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. The Company evaluated its variable interests in the VIEs and determined it is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entities primarily because it does not have interests in the entities that could potentially be significant. No reconsideration

events that caused a change in the Company’s consolidation conclusions occurred during either the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total unfunded commitments from the special limited partner and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs were $47.7 million and $42.1 million, respectively. These commitments are the primary source of financing for the unconsolidated VIEs.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest but does not consolidate. The assets recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition relate to the Company’s interests in and management fees, incentive fees and third party costs receivables from these non-consolidated VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
As of
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Investments$119,855 $102,109 
Receivables18,044 16,324 
Maximum exposure to loss$137,899 $118,433 
The above table includes investments in VIEs which are owned by noncontrolling interest holders of approximately $36.3 million and $30.9 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
9. Employee Compensation and Benefits
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, employee compensation and benefits consisted of the following:

Partnership Interest in Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC
Payments and settlements for partnership interest awards to the employees are made by GCMH Equityholders. As a result, the Company records a non-cash profits interest compensation charge and an offsetting deemed contribution to equity (deficit) to reflect the payments or settlements made or owed by the GCMH Equityholders. Since payments or settlements are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH. Any liability related to the awards is recognized at Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC as Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC is the party responsible for satisfying the obligation, and is not shown in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has recorded deemed contributions to equity (deficit) from Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC of $13.4 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $55.0 million and $89.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for partnership interest-based compensation expense which was or will ultimately be paid or settled by Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC.
GCMH Equityholders have modified awards to certain individuals upon their voluntary retirement or intention to retire as employees. These awards generally include a stated target amount that, upon payment, terminates the recipient’s rights to future distributions and allows for a lump sum buy-out of the awards, at the discretion of the managing member of Holdings,
17


GCM Grosvenor Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
Holdings II, and Management LLC. The awards are accounted for as partnership interest-based compensation at the present value of these expected future payments, in the period the employees accepted the offer. The Company recognized $18.5 million in partnership interest-based compensation expense related to award modifications for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and none was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (other than as discussed for the Holdings Awards below).
The liability associated with awards that contain a stated target has been retained by Holdings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and is re-measured at each reporting date, with any corresponding changes in liability being reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense of the Company. No recipients had unvested stated target payments as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense of $4.2 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $9.0 million and $17.9 million for the nine months September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to profits interest awards that are in substance profit-sharing arrangements.
GCMH Equityholders Awards
In the year ended December 31, 2022, GCMH Equityholders entered into agreements that will transfer equity ownership between certain existing employee members of the GCMH Equityholders (“GCMH Equityholders Awards”). The GCMH Equityholders Awards will entitle recipients to receive Class A common stock upon vesting. The non-cash awards serve to transfer equity ownership from existing GCMH Equityholders to other existing member employees upon vesting. The GCMH Equityholders Awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders and do not impact cash flows of the Company. The GCMH Equityholders Awards are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The awards generally will vest in May 2025 and do not entitle the recipients to dividends or distributions made on Class A common stock during the vesting period. As such, the fair value of the GCMH Equityholders Awards is based on the closing price of Class A common stock on the accounting grant date less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. GCMH Equityholders can settle the awards at various dates after vesting by exchanging outstanding GCMH common units or by otherwise acquiring and delivering Class A common stock, and therefore the vesting of such awards will not dilute Class A common stockholders. As such, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH, consistent with the accounting for payments to employees described above. The GCMH Equityholders Awards of 7,169,415 units had an aggregate grant date fair value of $53.4 million, or an average grant date fair value of $7.45 per unit. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the GCMH Equityholders Awards of $5.5 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $16.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested GCMH Equityholders Awards was $12.7 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 0.6 years.
Holdings Awards
On May 9, 2023, Holdings entered into amended and restated participation certificates with existing employee members (“Holdings Awards”). The Holdings Awards entitle recipients to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings, as well as a profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after certain threshold distributions to other members. Pursuant to ASC 505, the Holdings Awards will be recognized as compensation expense with a corresponding deemed contribution and are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation as the awards have characteristics that are more akin to the risks and rewards of equity ownership in Holdings. These awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders or impact net cash flows of the Company.
Certain of these existing employee members were previously awarded target amounts that entitled them to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings until they received a sum certain. Those target amounts represented by those sums, which were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation, were reduced to zero in the amended and restated participation certificates. As a result, target amounts that were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation were reversed, while partnership interest-based compensation associated with the amended and restated participation certificates is recorded.
The Holdings Awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $155.5 million, which was partially offset when recognized in expense by $80.0 million target amounts reversed during the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the

Holdings Awards was determined by a third-party valuation firm utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis for the minimum allocable share and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after the threshold distributions. Significant valuation inputs and assumptions included Holdings projected financial information and distributions, an estimated 10 year holding period, a 15.4% cost of equity, a 13.0% weighted average cost of capital, a 35% volatility assumption, the likelihood of a defined conversion event, a 40% discount for lack of marketability, and the fair value of reference properties that determine the threshold distributions for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds. The resulting fair value of the Holdings Awards is pushed down from Holdings to the Company and recorded as compensation expense. A portion of the Holdings Awards were vested upon grant, resulting in immediate expense recognition. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the Holdings Awards of $3.7 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.8 million and $54.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. A portion of the Holdings Awards will vest and are being expensed over a requisite service period through December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Holdings Awards was $3.7 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 0.3 years.
Other
Other consists of employee compensation and benefits expense related to deferred compensation programs and other awards that represent investments made in GCM Funds on behalf of the employees.
10. Equity-Based Compensation
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 2.0 million equity-classified RSUs and 1.5 million liability-classified RSUs with aggregate grant date fair values of $17.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively, to certain employees. The liability-classified RSUs are either classified as liabilities because they are required to be settled in cash or because the Company has the right to and intends to (as of the grant date or September 30, 2024, as applicable) settle the RSUs partially or wholly in cash. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reclassified 2.0 million RSUs from liability-classified to equity-classified based on management’s intent to settle the awards in shares of Class A common stock.
The majority of liability-classified awards outstanding as of December 31, 2023 were granted in October 2023, vested on March 1, 2024 and were delivered on April 15, 2024. Other awards generally vest either (a) one-third at the grant date with the remainder over two years in equal annual installments or (b) over a one to three year period. Upon delivery, the Company may withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested.
See Note 9 for additional information regarding GCMH Equityholders Awards and Holdings Awards.

In 2021, the Company amended its Senior Loan to extend the maturity date to February 24, 2028 and increased the aggregate principal amount thereunder to $400.0 million (“2028 Term Loans”).
Through June 30, 2023, the 2028 Term Loans had an interest rate margin of 2.50% over the LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% LIBOR floor. On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to incorporate changes for the contemplated transition to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and on July 1, 2023, in conjunction with a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate defaulted to the Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment of 0.11% as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
On May 21, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase and extend the 2028 Term Loans. The amendment increased the aggregate principal amount from $388.0 million to $438.0 million, extended the maturity date from February 24, 2028 to February 25, 2030 (as increased and extended, the “2030 Term Loans”), decreased the interest rate margin to 2.25% over Term SOFR, and removed the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment of 0.11%. As a result of the amendment and extension, the Company capitalized $0.4 million of debt issuances costs related to payments to lenders, which is recorded within debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and expensed $3.0 million of third-party costs which is recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, the Company recorded an expense of $0.2 million related to the partial extinguishment of certain lenders, which is recorded within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
From June 30, 2021 until May 21, 2024 quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million were required to be made toward the 2028 Term Loans (less any reduction for prior or future voluntary or mandatory prepayments of principal). As part of Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.1 million are required to be made toward the 2030 Term Loans beginning July 1, 2024 (less any reduction for prior or future voluntary or mandatory prepayments of principal).
In addition to the scheduled principal repayments, the Company is required to offer to make prepayments of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (“Cash Flow Payments”) no later than five days following the date the quarterly financial statements are due if the leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Cash Flow Payments were calculated as defined in the Senior Loan agreement based on a percentage of calculated excess cash. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company was not required to offer to make any Cash Flow Payments.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $436.9 million and $389.0 million of 2028 Term Loans were outstanding, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 7.75% and 7.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
Under the credit and guaranty agreement governing the terms of the Senior Loan, the Company must maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit and guaranty agreement also contains other covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt and restrict the Company and its subsidiaries ability to merge or consolidate, or sell or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have executed a pledge agreement (“Pledge Agreement”) and security agreement (“Security Agreement”) with the lenders of the Senior Loan. Under the Pledge Agreement, GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by pledging its interests in GCMH as collateral against the repayment of the Senior Loan, and GCMH has agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by granting a security interest in and continuing lien on the collateral described in the Security Agreement. The Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement will remain in effect until such time as all obligations relating to the Senior Loan have been fulfilled.

Credit Facility
Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Loan, the Company entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility maturity date was extended from February 24, 2026 to February 24, 2028 as part of the Amended Credit Agreement No. 8, and carries an unused commitment fee of up to 0.50% per annum. There were no outstanding borrowings related to the Credit Facility as of each of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Other
Certain subsidiaries of the Company agree to jointly and severally guarantee, as primary obligors and not merely as surety guarantees the obligations of their parent entity, GCMH.
Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were recorded within interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The carrying value of the Senior Loan, excluding the unamortized debt issuance costs presented as a reduction to the principal balance, approximated the fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As the Senior Loan was not accounted for at fair value, it was not included in the Company’s fair value hierarchy in Note 5, however had it been included, it would have been classified in Level 2.
12. Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company has entered into various derivative agreements with financial institutions to hedge interest rate risk related to its outstanding debt. The Company had the following interest rate derivatives recorded within accrued expenses and other liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition:

In February 2021, the Company terminated derivative instruments which were entered into in 2017. In October 2022, the Company terminated derivative instruments which were entered into in 2021 and received $40.3 million of cash for the fair market value of the interest rate swaps at termination. The amounts previously recorded as hedges in AOCI will remain in AOCI and will be recorded in interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the original lives of the derivative instruments.
The Company reclassified $1.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $5.7 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from AOCI to interest expense relating to the derivative instruments terminated that initially qualified for hedge accounting. The net impact of these reclassifications decreased interest expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Effective on November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made for the 2028 Term Loans that has a notional amount of $300 million and a fixed rate of 4.37%. The swap agreement and the 2028 Term Loans had a 0.50% LIBOR floor through June 30, 2023 and defaulted to Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment on July 1, 2023 at the Benchmark Transition Event as discussed in Note 11. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms and remained an effective cash flow hedge at and following the Benchmark Transition Event.
Effective on May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made for the increase in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Term Loans that has a notional amount of $28.5 million and a fixed rate of 4.47%. The swap agreement and 2030 Term Loans have a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms.
On May 23, 2024, the Company entered into a forward-starting swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made during the extended maturity of the 2030 Term Loans that has an effective date of February 2028, a notional amount of $317.0 million, and a fixed rate of 4.17%. The forward-starting swap agreement and 2030 Term Loans have a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on observable market inputs and represent the net amount required to terminate the positions, taking into consideration market rates and non-performance risk. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $6.1 million from AOCI to interest expense, which will decrease interest expense, including the impact of the swap terminations.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Leases
The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for office space. The Company leases office space in various countries around the world and maintains its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, where it leases primary office space. The leases contain rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses. When determining the lease term, the Company generally does not include options to renew as it is not reasonably certain at contract inception that the Company will exercise the option(s). As the implicit rate is not generally readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments.
In January 2024, the Company executed an agreement to lease office space for its United Kingdom office. The new space will replace the Company’s existing United Kingdom office space. The Company gained access to this space in January 2024 and established the ROU asset and lease liability. Total future lease payments are expected to be $2.8 million over 5.0 years. The lease contains rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses and a 10 month rent concession.
In June 2024, the Company executed an amendment to its lease agreement for our Chicago, Illinois office. The amended lease agreement provides access to temporary office space from October 2024 until September 2025, shortens the lease term for certain existing office space from September 2026 to September 2025, which will result in a one-time early termination fee, and extends the lease term of remaining existing office space from September 2026 to September 2037. As a result of the amended lease agreement the Company remeasured the existing ROU asset and lease liability based on the terms of the amended lease agreement. Total future lease payments are expected to be $16.7 million over 12.9 years, which is net of the landlord provided tenant improvement allowance of up to $8.0 million, as specified in the lease. The lease contains rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses and a 12 month rent concession.
The components of operating lease expense recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) were as follows:

The Company had $86.4 million and $85.6 million of unfunded investment commitments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, representing general partner capital funding commitments to several of the GCM Funds.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a number of representations and warranties, which may provide for general or specific indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these contracts is not currently known, as any such exposure would be based on future claims, which could be made against the Company. The Company’s management is not currently aware of any such pending claims and based on its experience, the Company believes the risk of loss related to these arrangements to be remote.
From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its business. The Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Risks
The Company may be exposed to a risk of loss by virtue of certain subsidiaries serving as the general partner of GCM Funds organized as limited partnerships. As general partner of a GCM Fund organized as a limited partnership, the Company’s subsidiaries that serve as the general partner have exposure to risk of loss that is not limited to the amount of its investment in such GCM Fund. The Company cannot predict the amount of loss, if any, which may occur as a result of this exposure; however, historically, the Company has not incurred any significant losses and management believes the likelihood is remote that a material loss will occur.

14. Related Parties
In regard to the following related party disclosures, the Company’s management cannot be sure that such transactions or arrangements would be the same to the Company if the parties involved were unrelated and such differences could be material.
The Company provides certain employees partnership interest awards which are paid or settled by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC. Refer to Note 9 for further details.
The Company has a sublease agreement with Holdings. Because the terms of the sublease are identical to the terms of the original lease, there is no impact to net income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company incurs certain costs, primarily related to accounting, client reporting, investment-decision making and treasury-related expenditures, for which it receives reimbursement from the GCM Funds in connection with its performance obligations to provide investment management services. The Company also incurs certain costs, primarily related to employee benefits and travel, for which it receives reimbursement from Holdings. Due from related parties in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition includes net receivables from GCM Funds of $7.3 million and $13.5 million and from Holdings of less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, paid on behalf of affiliated entities that are reimbursable to the Company.
Our executive officers, senior professionals, and certain current and former employees and their families invest on a discretionary basis in GCM Funds, and such investments are generally not subject to management fees and performance fees. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such investments and future commitments were $417.1 million and $377.5 million in aggregate, respectively.
Certain employees of the Company have an economic interest in an entity that is the owner and landlord of the building in which the principal headquarters of the Company are located.
The Company utilizes the services of an insurance broker to procure insurance coverage, including its general commercial package policy, workers’ compensation and professional and management liability coverage for its directors and officers. Certain members of Holdings have an economic interest in, and relatives are employed by, the Company’s insurance broker.
From time to time, certain of the Company’s executive officers utilize a private business aircraft, including an aircraft wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings. Additionally, the Company arranges for the use of the private business aircraft through a number of charter services, including entities predominantly or wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings. The Company paid, net of reimbursements, $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, to utilize aircraft and charter services wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings, which is recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
In an internal restructuring effective January 1, 2024, GCMH acquired from its general partner, IntermediateCo, the equity interests in GCM, L.L.C. held by IntermediateCo for cash consideration in the amount of approximately $2.0 million. The transaction was completed in accordance with the terms of a transfer agreement. IntermediateCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of GCM Grosvenor Inc., acquired GCM, L.L.C. in connection with the Transaction for nominal consideration and continues to control GCM, L.L.C. indirectly as general partner of GCMH.
15. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on the tax effect of items recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax and allocation of tax benefit to noncontrolling interest; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is expected a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 16% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 55% and (21)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. These rates were different than the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to the noncontrolling interest holders, including profits interest expense, as well as a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $1.0 million in unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no material changes to the uncertain tax benefits related to its uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts and where otherwise noted)
Shares of the Company’s Class C common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class C common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following outstanding potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders because their impact would have been antidilutive for the periods presented:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under the “Risk Factors” section of Part I, Item IA in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and under the “Forward-Looking Statements” section elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a leading alternative asset management solutions provider that invests across all major alternative investment strategies. We invest on a primary basis and through direct-oriented strategies, which we define as secondaries, co-investments, direct investments and seed investments. We operate customized separate accounts and commingled funds. We collaborate with our clients to invest on their behalf across the private and public markets, either through portfolios customized to meet a client’s specific objectives or through specialized commingled funds that are developed to meet broad market demands for strategies and risk-return objectives.
We operate at scale across the full range of private markets and absolute return strategies. Private markets and absolute return strategies are primarily defined by the liquidity of the underlying securities purchased, the length of the client commitment, and the form and timing of incentive fees. For private markets strategies, clients generally commit to invest over a three-year time period and have an expected duration of seven years or more. In private markets strategies, carried interest is typically based on realized gains on liquidation of the investment. For absolute return strategies, the securities tend to be more liquid, clients have the ability to redeem assets more regularly, and performance fees can be earned on an annual basis. We offer the following investment strategies:
Private Equity
Infrastructure
Real Estate
Absolute Return Strategies
Alternative Credit
Sustainable and Impact Investing
Our clients include large, sophisticated, global institutional investors who rely on our investment expertise and differentiated investment access to navigate the alternatives market, but also include a growing individual investor client base. As one of the pioneers of the customized separate account solutions, we are equipped to provide investment services to clients with a wide variety of needs, internal resources and investment objectives, and our client relationships are deep and frequently span decades.
Trends Affecting Our Business
As a global alternative asset manager, our results of operations are impacted by a variety of factors, including conditions in the global financial markets and economic and political environments, particularly in the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East. While economic factors, such as interest rates, can make alternative investments more or less attractive relative to other asset classes, investors have increasingly gravitated towards the returns generated by alternative investments in order to meet their return objectives. In addition, increased equity market volatility can also contribute to increased investor demand for alternative strategies. Finally, the opportunities in private markets continue to expand as firms raise new funds and launch new vehicles and products to access private markets across the globe.
In addition to the trends discussed above, we believe the following factors, among others, will influence our future performance and results of operations:
Our ability to retain existing investors and attract new investors in our funds.
Our ability to retain existing assets under management and attract new investors in our funds is partially dependent on the extent to which investors continue to favorably see the alternative asset management industry relative to traditional publicly
29


listed equity and debt securities. A decline in the pace or the size of our fundraising efforts or investments as a result of increased competition in the private markets investing environment or a shift toward public markets may impact our revenues, which are generated from management fees and incentive fees.
Our ability to expand our business through new lines of business and geographic markets.
Our ability to grow our revenue base is partially dependent upon our ability to offer additional products and services by entering into new lines of business and by entering into, or expanding our presence in, new geographic markets. Entry into certain lines of business or geographic markets or the introduction of new types of products or services may subject us to the evolving macroeconomic and regulatory environment of the various countries where we operate or in which we invest.
Our ability to realize investments.
Challenging market and economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to exit and realize value from our investments and we may not be able to find suitable investments in which to effectively deploy capital. During periods of adverse economic conditions, such as current geopolitical turmoil abroad and elevated inflation and interest rates, our funds may have difficulty accessing financial markets, which could make it more difficult to obtain funding for additional investments and impact our ability to successfully exit positions in a timely manner. A general market downturn, a recession or a specific market dislocation may result in lower investment returns for our funds, which would adversely affect our revenues.
Our ability to identify suitable investment opportunities for our clients.
Our success largely depends on the identification and availability of suitable investment opportunities for our clients, and, in particular, the success of the investment vehicles managed by third-party investment managers in which GCM Funds invest. The availability of investment opportunities is subject to certain factors outside of our control and the control of the investment managers with which we invest for our funds, including the market environment at a given point in time. Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the opportunity to invest on behalf of our clients in all or a substantial portion of the investments we select, or that the size of the investment opportunities available to us will be as large as we would desire, we seek to maintain excellent relationships with investment managers of investment funds, including those in which we have previously made investments for our clients and those in which we may in the future invest, as well as sponsors of investments that might provide co-investment opportunities in portfolio companies alongside the sponsoring fund manager. Our ability to identify attractive investments and execute on those investments is dependent on a number of factors, including the general macroeconomic environment, valuation, transaction size, and expected duration of such investment opportunity.
Our ability to generate competitive returns.
The ability to attract and retain clients is partially dependent on returns we are able to deliver versus client objectives, our peers and industry benchmarks. The capital we are able to attract drives the growth of our assets under management and the management and incentive fees we earn. Similarly, in order to maintain our desired fee structure in a competitive environment, we must be able to continue to provide clients with investment returns and service that incentivize our investors to pay our desired fee rates.
Our ability to comply with increasing and evolving regulatory requirements.
The complex and evolving regulatory and tax environment may have an adverse effect on our business and subject us to additional expenses or capital requirements, as well as restrictions on our business operations.
Operating Segments
We have determined that we operate in a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with how our chief operating decision maker allocates resources and assesses performance.

Components of Results of Operations
Revenues
We generate revenues from management fees and incentive fees, which includes carried interest and performance fees.
31


Management Fees
Management Fees
We earn management fees from providing investment management services to specialized funds and customized separate account clients. Specialized funds are generally structured as partnerships or companies having multiple investors. Customized separate account clients may be structured using an affiliate-managed entity or may involve an investment management agreement between us and a single client. Certain separate account clients may have us manage assets both with full discretion over investments decisions as well as without discretion over investment decisions and may also receive access to various other advisory services the firm may provide.
Certain of our management fees, typically associated with our private markets strategies, are based on client commitments to those funds during an initial commitment or investment period. During this period fees may be charged on total commitments, on invested capital (capital committed to underlying investments) or on a ratable ramp-in of total commitments, which is meant to mirror typical invested capital pacing. Following the expiration or termination of such period, certain fees continue to be based on client commitments while others are based on invested assets or based on invested capital and unfunded deal commitments less returned capital or based on a fixed ramp down schedule.
Certain of our management fees, typically associated with absolute return strategies, are based on the NAV of those funds. Such GCM Funds either have a set fee for the entire fund or a fee scale through which clients with larger commitments pay a lower fee.
Management fees are determined quarterly and are more commonly billed in advance based on the management fee rate applied to the management fee base at the end of the preceding quarterly period as defined in the respective contractual agreements.
We provided investment management / advisory services on assets of $79.6 billion and $76.9 billion as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Fund expense reimbursement revenue
We incur certain costs, primarily related to accounting, client reporting, investment-decision making and treasury-related expenditures, for which we receive reimbursement from the GCM Funds in connection with our performance obligations to provide investment management services. We concluded that we control the services provided and resources used before they are transferred to the customer, and therefore we act as a principal. Accordingly, the reimbursement for these costs incurred by us are presented on a gross basis within management fees. Expense reimbursements are recognized at a point in time, in the periods during which the related expenses are incurred and the reimbursements are contractually earned.
Incentive Fees
Incentive fees are based on the results of our funds, in the form of performance fees and carried interest income, which together comprise incentive fees.
Carried Interest
Carried interest is a performance-based capital allocation from a fund’s limited partners earned by us in certain GCM Funds, more commonly in private markets strategies. Carried interest is typically a percentage of the profits calculated in accordance with the terms of fund agreements, certain fees and a preferred return to the fund’s limited partners. Carried interest is ultimately realized when underlying investments distribute proceeds or are sold and therefore carried interest is highly susceptible to market factors, judgments, and actions of third parties that are outside of our control.
Agreements generally include a clawback provision that, if triggered, would require us to return up to the cumulative amount of carried interest distributed, typically net of tax, upon liquidation of those funds, if the aggregate amount paid as carried interest exceeds the amount actually due based upon the aggregate performance of each fund. We have defined the portion to be deferred as the amount of carried interest, typically net of tax, that we would be required to return if all remaining investments had no value as of the end of each reporting period. As of September 30, 2024, deferred revenue relating to constrained realized carried interest was approximately $7.1 million.
Assets under management that are subject to carried interest, excluding investments of the firm and our professionals from which we generally do not earn incentive fees, were approximately $44.2 billion as of September 30, 2024.
32


Performance Fees
We may receive performance fees from certain GCM Funds, more commonly in funds associated with absolute return strategies. Performance fees are typically a fixed percentage of investment gains, subject to loss carryforward provisions that require the recapture of any previous losses before any performance fees can be earned in the current period. Performance fees may or may not be subject to a hurdle or a preferred return, which requires that clients earn a specified minimum return before a performance fee can be assessed. These performance fees are determined based upon investment performance at the end of a specified measurement period, generally the end of the calendar year.
Investment returns are highly susceptible to market factors, judgments, and actions of third parties that are outside of our control. Accordingly, performance fees are variable consideration and are therefore constrained and not recognized until it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. In the event that a client redeems from one of the GCM Funds prior to the end of a measurement period, any accrued performance fee is ordinarily due and payable by such redeeming client as of the date of the redemption.
Assets under management that are subject to performance fees, excluding investments of the firm and our professionals from which we generally do not earn incentive fees, were approximately $13.6 billion as of September 30, 2024.
Other Operating Income
Other operating income primarily consists of administrative fees from certain private investment vehicles where we perform a full suite of administrative functions but do not manage or advise and have no discretion over the capital.
Expenses
Employee Compensation and Benefits
Employee compensation and benefits primarily consists of (1) cash-based employee compensation and benefits, (2) equity-based compensation, (3) partnership interest-based compensation, (4) carried interest compensation, (5) cash-based incentive fee related compensation and (6) other non-cash compensation. Bonus and incentive fee related compensation is generally determined by our management and is discretionary taking into consideration, among other things, our financial results and the employee’s performance. In addition, various individuals, including certain senior professionals have been awarded partnership interests and/or restricted stock units (“RSUs”). These partnership interests grant the recipient the right to certain cash distributions from GCMH Equityholders’ profits (to the extent such distributions are authorized) and/or to certain net sale proceeds after threshold distributions, resulting in non-cash profits interest compensation expense. We recognize compensation expense attributable to the RSUs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Certain employees and former employees are also entitled to a portion of the carried interest and performance fees realized from certain GCM Funds, which is payable upon a realization of the carried interest or performance fees.
General, Administrative and Other
General, administrative and other consists primarily of professional fees, travel and related expenses, IT operations, communications and information services, occupancy, fund expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other costs associated with our operations.
Net Other Income (Expense)
Investment Income (Loss)
Investment income (loss) primarily consists of gains and losses arising from our equity method investments.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest paid and accrued on our outstanding debt, along with the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs incurred from debt issued by us, including the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility entered into by us. Interest expense also includes (1) the impact of qualifying effective cash flow hedges and (2) the amortization of realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that initially qualified for hedge accounting and were subsequently terminated. The unrealized gains or losses are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense over the original life of the swap.
33


Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) consists primarily of other non-operating items, including write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs due to prepayments and refinancing of debt and interest income.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities are non-cash changes and consist of fair value adjustments related to the outstanding public and private warrants issued in connection with the Transaction. The warrant liabilities are classified as marked-to-market liabilities pursuant to ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and the corresponding increase or decrease in value impacts our net income (loss).
Provision for Income Taxes
We are a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes on our share of taxable income generated by us and our subsidiaries. GCMH is treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As such, income generated by GCMH flows through to its partners, and is generally not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax at the partnership level. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally operate as corporate entities in non-U.S. jurisdictions, with certain of these entities subject to local or non-U.S. income taxes. The tax liability with respect to income attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH is borne by the holders of such noncontrolling interests.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries represents the economic interests of third parties in certain consolidated subsidiaries.
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH represents the economic interests of GCMH Equityholders in GCMH. Profits and losses, other than partnership interest-based compensation, are allocated to the noncontrolling interests in GCMH in proportion to their relative ownership interests regardless of their basis.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Management fees increased $4.0 million, or 4%, to $98.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Private markets strategies fees increased $3.4 million, or 6%, primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in private market strategies specialized funds fees and a $1.6 million increase in private markets strategies customized separate accounts fees, both as a result of capital raising and deployment. Absolute return strategies fees increased $0.7 million, or 2%, primarily due to higher returns for certain absolute return strategies funds. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in fund expense reimbursement revenue of $0.2 million, or 5% to $3.5 million.
Incentive fees consisted of carried interest and performance fees. Carried interest decreased $4.9 million, or 19%, to $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower tax carry realizations related to 2023 taxable income partially offset by distributions and carry realizations during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Performance fees increased $2.1 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher returns for absolute return strategies funds during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Performance fees are generally determined at the end of the calendar year and are generally minimal in interim periods.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Management fees increased $13.9 million, or 5%, to $294.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Private market strategies fees increased $13.0 million, or 8%, primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in private market strategies specialized funds fees and a $5.3 million increase in private market strategies customized separate accounts fees, both as a result of capital raising and deployment. Absolute return strategies fees of $111.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were generally consistent with those in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Incentive fees consisted of carried interest and performance fees. Carried interest decreased $7.3 million, or 17%, to $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower tax carry realizations related to 2023 taxable income partially offset by distributions and carry realizations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Performance fees increased $11.9 million to $13.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to fees earned from funds with fiscal year ends different than calendar year end during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Performance fees are generally determined at the end of the year and are generally minimal in interim periods.

Employee compensation and benefits decreased $3.1 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The overall decrease was primarily driven by decreases in cash-based employee compensation and benefits, partnership interest-based compensation and carried interest compensation, partially offset by an increase in cash-based incentive fee related compensation. Cash-based employee compensation and benefits decreased $1.8 million, or 5%, primarily due to lower bonus accruals. Partnership interest-based compensation decreased $1.5 million, or 10%, primarily due to lower expense recorded for the Holdings Awards during the three months ended

September 30, 2024 (as further described in Note 9 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 2 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). These awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders or impact our net cash flows. Carried interest compensation decreased $1.7 million, or 13%, primarily due to lower realized carried interest during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cash-based incentive fee related compensation increased $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher performance fees during the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Employee compensation and benefits decreased $36.6 million, or 13%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The overall decrease was primarily driven by decreases in partnership interest-based compensation, cash-based employee compensation and benefits and carried interest compensation, partially offset by an increase in cash-based incentive fee related compensation. Partnership interest-based compensation decreased $34.2 million, or 38%, due to expense recorded for the Holdings Awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by award modifications in the first quarter of 2024 and amortization of the Holdings Awards that were granted in the second quarter of 2023. Holdings Awards are further described in Note 9 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 2 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders or impact our net cash flows. Cash-based employee compensation and benefits decreased $9.0 million, or 7%, due to lower bonus accruals and severance for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Carried interest compensation decreased $3.5 million, or 14%, primarily due to lower realized carried interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cash-based incentive fee related compensation increased $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher performance fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
General, Administrative and Other
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
General, administrative and other increased $3.2 million, or 15%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in professional fees.
General, administrative and other increased $2.1 million, or 3%, to $78.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to increases in occupancy expenses and travel related costs.
Net Other Income (Expense)
Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Investment income of $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was generally consistent with the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest expense of $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was generally consistent with $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Other income of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was generally consistent with $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and consisted primarily of interest income in each period.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was due to an increase in the fair value of the warrants from June 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Investment income was $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the change in value of private and public market investments.
Interest expense of $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was generally consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
37


Other income was $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and consisted primarily of interest income in each period.
Change in fair value of warrant liabilities of $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was due to an increase in the fair value of the warrants from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
Provision for Income Taxes
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Provision for income taxes primarily reflect U.S. federal and state income taxes on our share of taxable income generated by us, as well as local and foreign income taxes of certain of the our subsidiaries.
Our effective tax rate was 21% and 16% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 55% and (21)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Our overall effective tax rate was greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to the noncontrolling interest holders, including profit interest expense, as well as a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods.
Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.1 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to a decrease in income generated by our consolidated subsidiaries not wholly owned by us.
Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH was $7.3 million and $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $(6.0) million and $(48.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily attributable to a decrease in partnership-interest based compensation as described above, which was fully allocated to noncontrolling interests in GCMH and underlying performance of GCMH.
Fee-Paying AUM
FPAUM is a metric we use to measure the assets from which we earn management fees. Our FPAUM comprises the assets in our customized separate accounts and specialized funds from which we derive management fees. We classify customized separate account revenue as management fees if the client is charged an asset-based fee, which includes the vast majority of our discretionary AUM accounts. Our FPAUM for private market strategies typically represents committed, invested or scheduled capital during the investment period and invested capital following the expiration or termination of the investment period. Substantially all of our private markets strategies funds earn fees based on commitments or net invested capital, which are not affected by market appreciation or depreciation. Our FPAUM for our absolute return strategy is based on NAV, which includes impacts of any market appreciation or depreciation.
Our calculations of FPAUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, this measure may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our definition of FPAUM is not based on any definition that is set forth in the agreements governing the customized separate accounts or specialized funds that we manage.

Of the $7.9 billion CNYFPAUM as of September 30, 2024, approximately $3.1 billion is subject to an agreed upon fee ramp in schedule. The ramp in schedule will result in management fees being charged on approximately $0.3 billion, $1.1 billion and $1.7 billion of such amount in the remainder of 2024, in 2025, and in 2026 and beyond, respectively. Management fees will be charged on the remaining approximately $4.8 billion of CNYFPAUM as such capital is invested, which will depend on a number of factors, including the availability of eligible investment opportunities.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2024
FPAUM increased $0.5 billion, or 1%, to $63.7 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to $1.1 billion of contributions and a $0.3 billion increase in market value, offset by $0.4 billion and $0.4 billion of withdrawals and distributions, respectively, and a $0.2 billion decrease in foreign exchange and other movements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations above, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess the performance of our business across reporting periods and believes this information is useful to investors for the same reasons. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are reconciled below. Further, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these measurements in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures including revenues and net income (loss). We may calculate or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies who report measures with the same or similar names, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable.

Net Incentive Fees Attributable to GCM Grosvenor
Net incentive fees are used to highlight fees earned from incentive fees that are attributable to GCM Grosvenor. Net incentive fees represent incentive fees excluding (a) incentive fees contractually owed to others and (b) cash-based incentive fee related compensation. Net incentive fees are used by management in making compensation and capital allocation decisions and we believe that they provide investors useful information regarding the amount that such fees contribute to our earnings.

Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures used to evaluate our profitability.
Adjusted Pre-Tax Income represents net income attributable to GCM Grosvenor Inc. including (a) net income (loss) attributable to GCMH, excluding (b) provision for income taxes, (c) changes in fair value of derivatives and warrant liabilities, (d) amortization expense, (e) partnership interest-based and non-cash compensation, (f) equity-based compensation, including cash-settled equity awards (as we view the cash settlement as a separate capital transaction), (g) unrealized investment income, (h) changes in TRA liability and (i) certain other items that we believe are not indicative of our core performance, including charges related to corporate transactions, employee severance, office relocation costs and loss on extinguishment of debt.
Adjusted Net Income represents Adjusted Pre-Tax Income fully taxed at each period’s blended statutory tax rate.
Adjusted EBITDA represents Adjusted Net Income excluding (a) adjusted income taxes, (b) depreciation and amortization expense and (c) interest expense on our outstanding debt.
We are a holding company with no material assets other than its indirect ownership of equity interests in GCMH and certain deferred tax assets. The GCMH Equityholders may from time to time cause GCMH to redeem any or all of their GCMH common units in exchange, at our election, for either cash (based on the market price for a share of the Class A common stock) or shares of Class A common stock. As such, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH is added back in order to reflect the full economics of the underlying business as if GCMH Equityholders converted their interests to shares of Class A common stock. Other noncontrolling interests do not have the ability to convert those interests into our equity interests, and as such, income (loss) attributable to these noncontrolling interests are not adjusted for in our non-GAAP financial measures.
42


We believe Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors because they provide additional insight into the operating profitability of our core business across reporting periods. These measures (1) present a view of the economics of the underlying business as if GCMH Equityholders converted their interests to shares of Class A common stock and (2) adjust for certain non-cash and other activity in order to provide more comparable results of the core business across reporting periods. These measures are used by management in budgeting, forecasting and evaluating operating results.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share
Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by adjusted shares outstanding. Adjusted shares outstanding assumes the hypothetical full exchange of limited partnership interests in GCMH into Class A common stock of GCM Grosvenor Inc., the dilution from outstanding warrants for Class A common stock of GCM Grosvenor Inc. and the dilution from outstanding equity-based compensation. We believe adjusted net income per share is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per-share performance across reporting periods.
The following table shows a reconciliation of diluted weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding to adjusted shares outstanding used in the computation of adjusted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Fee-Related Revenue and Fee-Related Earnings
Fee-Related Revenue (“FRR”) is a non-GAAP measure used to highlight revenues from recurring management fees and administrative fees. FRR represents total operating revenues less (1) incentive fees and (2) fund reimbursement revenue. We believe FRR is useful to investors because it provides additional insight into our relatively stable management fee base separate from incentive fee revenues, which tend to have greater variability.
Fee-Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP metric used to highlight earnings from recurring management fees and administrative fees. FRE represents adjusted EBITDA further adjusted to exclude (a) incentive fees and related compensation and (b) other non-operating income, and to include depreciation expense. We believe FRE is useful to investors because it provides additional insights into the management fee driven operating profitability of our business.

(1)Investment income or loss is generally realized when we redeem all or a portion of our investment or when we receive or is due cash, such as a from dividends or distributions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically financed our operations and working capital through net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under our Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (each as defined below). As of September 30, 2024, we had $98.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility. On July 29, 2022, the SEC declared effective our Registration Statement on Form S-3, pursuant to which we may issue a combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings from time to time. Our primary cash needs are to fund working capital requirements, invest in growing our business, make investments in GCM Funds, make scheduled principal payments and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, pay dividends to holders of our Class A common stock, and pay tax distributions to members. Additionally, as a result of the Transaction, we need cash to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We expect that our cash flow from operations, current cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures and to service our debt obligations for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.
We are required to maintain minimum net capital balances for regulatory purposes for certain of our foreign subsidiaries as well as our U.S. broker-dealer subsidiary. These net capital requirements are met by retaining cash. As a result, we may be restricted in our ability to transfer cash between different operating entities and jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2024 we are in compliance with these regulatory requirements.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities is generally comprised of our net income (loss) in the respective periods after adjusting for significant non-cash activities, including equity-based compensation for equity-classified awards, non-cash partnership interest-based compensation, the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and the change in equity value of our investments, all of which are included in earnings; proceeds received from return on investments; inflows for receipt of management and incentive fees; and outflows for operating expenses, including cash-based compensation; and lease liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $110.7 million and $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These operating cash flows were primarily driven by:
net income of $98.8 million and $69.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, after adjusting for $92.6 million and $102.9 million of net non-cash activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively;
an increase in working capital of $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to a decrease in working capital of $10.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, largely due to higher receipts of management and incentive fees, partially offset by higher payments for cash-based compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and
proceeds received from investments of $8.4 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $(25.1) million and $(13.0) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These investing cash flows were primarily driven by:
purchases of premises and equipment of $(15.6) million and $(1.3) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively;
contributions/subscriptions to investments of $(17.2) million and $(21.1) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; partially offset by
distributions received from investments of $7.7 million and $9.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $(31.5) million and $(80.9) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These financing cash flows were primarily driven by:
capital distributions paid to partners and member of $(42.7) million and $(39.0) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively;
capital distributions paid to noncontrolling interest holders of $(9.2) million and $(10.5) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively;
proceeds from the Term Loan Facility amendment of $50.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024;
principal payments on the Term Loan Facility of $(2.1) million and $(3.0) million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively;
payments to repurchase Class A common stock of $(4.5) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023;
the settlement of equity-based compensation to satisfy withholding tax requirements of $(12.7) million and $(10.2) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively; and
dividends paid of $(15.6) million during each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Indebtedness
On January 2, 2014, GCMH entered into a credit agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides GCMH with a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan
46


Facility”) and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Under the Revolving Credit Facility, $15.0 million is available for letters of credit and $10.0 million is available for swingline loans.
On June 23, 2021, we amended our Term Loan Facility to increase the aggregate principal amount from $290.0 million to $400.0 million. On June 29, 2023, we entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to incorporate changes for the contemplated transition to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and on July 1, 2023, in conjunction with a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate defaulted to the Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
On May 21, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement, which among other things, increased the aggregate principal amount of our Term Loan Facility from $388.0 million to $438.0 million and extended the maturity date from February 24, 2028 to February 25, 2030. Additionally, the amendment reduced the interest rate margin to 2.25% over Term SOFR and removed the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. The maturity date for the full amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is February 24, 2028.
As of September 30, 2024, GCMH had borrowings of $436.9 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility and no outstanding balance under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2024, we had available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility.
See Note 11 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of our outstanding indebtedness.
The terms of our current debt instruments contain covenants that may restrict us and our subsidiaries from paying distributions to its members. As a holding company, we are dependent upon the ability of GCMH to make distributions to its members, including us. However, the ability of GCMH to make such distributions is subject to its operating results, cash requirements and financial condition, restrictive covenants in our debt instruments and applicable Delaware law. These restrictions include restrictions on the payment of distributions whenever the payment of such distributions would cause GCMH to no longer be in compliance with any of its financial covenants under the Term Loan Facility. Absent an event of default under the Credit Agreement governing the terms of the Term Loan Facility, GCMH may make unlimited distributions when the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is below stated thresholds. As of September 30, 2024, the Total Leverage Ratio was below such stated thresholds and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
See Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of our interest rate derivatives to hedge interest rate risk related to our outstanding indebtedness. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into swap agreements to hedge interest rate risk related to our debt. Effective on May 31, 2024, we entered into a swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made for the increase in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Term Loans that has a notional amount of $28.5 million and a fixed rate of 4.47%. On May 23, 2024, we entered into a forward-starting swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made during the extended maturity of the 2030 Term Loans that has an effective date of February 24, 2028, a notional amount of $317.0 million, and a fixed rate of 4.17%.
Dividend Policy
We are a holding company with no material assets other than our indirect ownership of equity interests in GCMH and certain deferred tax assets. As such, we do not have any independent means of generating revenue. However, management of GCM Grosvenor expects to cause GCMH to make distributions to its members, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay all applicable taxes, to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to pay our corporate and other overhead expenses. On November 7, 2024, GCMG’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share of Class A common stock to record holders as of the close of business on December 2, 2024. The payment date will be December 16, 2024. The payment of cash dividends on shares of our Class A common stock in the future, in this amount or otherwise, will be within the discretion of GCMG’s Board of Directors at such time.
Stock Repurchase Plan
On August 6, 2021, GCMG’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan which may be used to repurchase our outstanding Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock. Our Class A common stock and warrants may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, including with employees or otherwise, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, as well as to retire (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) equity-based awards granted under our
47


2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (and any successor plan thereto), with the terms and conditions of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. We are not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of our Class A common stock or warrants, the program has no expiration date and we may suspend or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. Any shares of Class A common stock and any warrants repurchased as part of this program will be canceled. GCMG’s Board of Directors has made subsequent increases to its stock repurchase authorization for shares and warrants. As of December 31, 2023, the total authorization was $115.0 million, excluding fees and expenses. On February 8, 2024, GCMG's Board of Directors increased the firm's existing share repurchase authorization by $25 million, from $115 million to $140 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we spent $33.2 million to reduce Class A shares to be issued to employees, including amounts withheld to satisfy tax obligations in connection with the settlement of RSUs. No shares of Class A common stock or warrants were repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, $32.0 million remained available under our stock repurchase plan.
We review our capital return plan on an on-going basis, considering our financial performance and liquidity position, investments required to execute our strategic plans and initiatives, acquisition opportunities, the economic outlook, regulatory changes and other relevant factors. As these factors may change over time, the actual amounts expended on repurchase activity, dividends, and acquisitions, if any, during any particular period cannot be predicted and may fluctuate from time to time.
Tax Receivable Agreement
Exchanges of Grosvenor common units by limited partners of GCMH will result in increases in the tax basis in our share of the assets of GCMH and its subsidiaries that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis are expected to increase our depreciation and amortization deductions and create other tax benefits, and therefore may reduce the amount of tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. The Tax Receivable Agreement requires us to pay 85% of the amount of these and certain other tax benefits, if any, that we realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) to the TRA Parties. As of September 30, 2024, the amount payable to related parties pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement was $53.8 million.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
In January 2024, we executed an agreement to lease office space for our United Kingdom space. In June 2024, we amended our agreement to lease office space for our Chicago, Illinois space. See Note 13 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a summary of the lease payments. There are no other material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in our contractual obligations, commitments and contingencies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our judgments on our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making estimates about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a more complete discussion of the accounting judgments and estimates that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, please refer to Note 2 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Our critical accounting policies are more fully described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Information regarding recent accounting developments and their impact on our results can be found in Note 2 in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to a broad range of risks inherent in the financial markets in which we participate, including price risk, interest-rate risk, access to and cost of financing risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and foreign exchange-rate risk. Potentially negative effects of these risks may be mitigated to a certain extent by those aspects of our investment approach, investment strategies, fundraising practices or other business activities that are designed to benefit, either in relative or absolute terms, from periods of economic weakness, tighter credit or financial market dislocations.
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for our funds and the sensitivity to movements in the fair value of their investments, which may adversely affect our investment income, management fees, and incentive fees, as applicable.

In May 2024, we entered into a swap agreement and a forward-starting swap agreement that have a notional amount of $28.5 million and $317.0 million, respectively, with the purpose of hedging interest rate risk related to payments made for the increase in aggregate principal amount and extended maturity of the Term Loan Facility. The swap, forward-starting swap and the Term Loan Facility have a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The swap and forward-starting swap were determined to be effective cash flow hedges at inception based on a comparison of critical terms. See Note 12 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about these swap agreements.
Based on the floating rate component of our Term Loan Facility and excluding any impact of interest rate hedges as of September 30, 2024, we estimate that a 100 basis point increase in SOFR would result in increased interest expense of $4.4 million over the next 12 months.
There have been no other material changes in our market risks during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For additional information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Limitations on effectiveness of controls and procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are a defendant in various lawsuits related to our business. We do not believe that the outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated statements of financial condition or statements of income.
In the normal course of business, we may enter into contracts that contain a number of representations and warranties, which may provide for general or specific indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these contracts is not currently
49


known, as any such exposure would be based on future claims, which could be made against us. We are not currently aware of any such pending claims and based on our experience, we believe the risk of loss related to these arrangements to be remote.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we did not purchase any shares of Class A common stock or warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. See Note 6 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information about our stock repurchase plan.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
(a) Disclosure in lieu of reporting on a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 7, 2024, after nearly four years of service, Ms. Blythe Masters informed the Company of her decision to resign from the Company’s Board of Directors and as a member of and Chair of the Company’s Audit Committee, effective February 20, 2025, in order to focus on other increased professional responsibilities, including her role as the newly appointed Group Chief Executive Officer of FNZ. Ms. Masters’ resignation will follow the Company’s meetings of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors relating to the fourth quarter and full year 2024 earnings results, and the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K filing. The Company intends to announce Ms. Masters’ replacement in February 2025 in connection with the Company’s announcement of earnings results. There were no disagreements between the Company and Ms. Masters with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Board of Directors and management warmly thank Ms. Masters for her service and insightful contributions to the Company, informed by her extensive experience as a financial services and technology executive, which has supported the Company through a period of evolution and sustained growth.
(b) Material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the board of directors.
None.
(c) Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies.
During the third quarter of 2024, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as each term is defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and require significant management judgment or estimation.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and fees receivable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investments
Investments primarily consist of investments in GCM Funds and other funds the Company does not control, but is deemed to exert significant influence, and are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities, which reflects the net asset value of such investments. Management believes the net asset value of the funds is representative of fair value. The resulting gains and losses are included as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The Company’s equity method investments in the GCM Funds investing in private equity, real estate and infrastructure (“GCM PEREI Funds”) are valued based on the most recent available information, which typically has a delay of up to three months due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the GCM PEREI Funds. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the GCM PEREI Funds within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition during the three-month lag period. To the extent that management is aware of material events that affect the GCM PEREI Funds during the intervening period, the impact of the events would be disclosed in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain subsidiaries which hold the general partner capital interest in the GCM Funds are not wholly owned, and as such, the portion of the Company’s investments owned by limited partners in those subsidiaries are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
For certain other debt investments, the Company has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is made at the investment level at initial recognition. The debt investments are not publicly traded and are a Level 3 fair value measurement. For investments carried at fair value, the Company records the increase or decrease in fair value as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s other investments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 scopes in entities with a single reportable segment and requires those entities to provide all disclosures required in Topic 280, requires that current annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets also be provided in interim periods and requires other various new disclosures. Enhanced reporting requirements for all entities includes disclosure of (1) significant segment expenses, (2) the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) and (3) how the CODM uses disclosed measure(s) of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this guidance and currently expects that adoption will result in new disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures including disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, additional disclosures about income taxes paid, and disclosure of pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations disaggregated between domestic and foreign income or loss. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies should provide the enhanced disclosures on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is
permitted. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating this guidance and currently expects that adoption will result in enhanced income tax disclosures.

Money Market Funds
Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices and are included in cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Interest Rate Derivatives
Management determines the fair value of its interest rate derivative agreements based on the present value of expected future cash flows based on observable future rates applicable to each swap contract using linear interpolation, inclusive of the risk of non-performance, using a discount rate appropriate for the duration. See Note 12 for additional information regarding interest rate derivatives.
Other Investments
Investments in the subordinated notes of a structured alternatives investment solution are not publicly traded and are classified as Level 3. Management determines the fair value of these other investments using a discounted cash flow analysis (“Cash Flow Analysis”), which includes assumptions regarding the expected deployment and realization timing of private investments. The position was classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the Cash Flow Analysis as follows:

(1)In determining these inputs, management considers the following factors including, but not limited to: liquidity, estimated yield, capital deployment, diversified multi-strategy appreciation, expected net multiple of investment capital across private assets investments, annual operating expenses, as well as investment guidelines such as concentration limits, position size, and investment periods.
(2)Unless otherwise noted, this column represents the directional change in fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.
(3)The discount rate was based on the relevant benchmark rate, spread, and yield migrations on related securitized assets.
(4)Inputs were weighted based on actual and estimated expected return included in the range.
(5)Inputs were weighted based on the actual and estimated commitments to the respective private asset investments included in the range.
The resulting fair values of $11.7 million and $11.2 million were recorded within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The public warrants are valued using quoted market prices on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker GCMGW.
Private Warrants
The private warrants were classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the valuation, however the overall private warrant valuation and change in fair value are not material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The valuations for the private warrants were determined to be $1.06 and $0.43 per unit as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The resulting fair values of $1.0 million and $0.4 million were recorded within warrant liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Stock Repurchase Plan
On August 6, 2021, GCMG’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan which may be used to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Class A common stock and warrants may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, including with employees or otherwise, pursuant to the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, as well as to retire (by cash settlement or the payment of tax withholding amounts upon net settlement) equity-based awards granted under our 2020 Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (and any successor plan thereto), with the terms and conditions of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated under the terms of the plan to repurchase any of its Class A common stock or warrants, the program has no expiration date and the Company may suspend or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. Any shares of Class A common stock and any warrants repurchased as part of this program will be canceled. GCMG’s Board of Directors has made subsequent increases to its original stock repurchase authorization amount for shares and warrants. As of December 31, 2023, the total authorization was $115 million, excluding fees and expenses. On February 8, 2024, GCMG’s Board of Directors increased the firm's existing repurchase authorization by $25 million, from $115 million to $140 million.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 245,763 and 3,510,276 shares, respectively, for RSUs that were settled in cash, including amounts withheld in connection with the payment of tax withholding obligations, for $2.7 million and $33.2 million, or an average of $10.89 and $9.44 per share, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information regarding RSUs. Other than the deemed repurchases described above, the Company did not repurchase shares of Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $32.0 million remaining under the stock repurchase plan.

Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The warrants expire 5 years after the consummation of the Transaction, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The public warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A common stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A common stock, upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.
The private placement warrants (including the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees. CF Sponsor, Holdings or their permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis.
No warrants were exercised or repurchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company had 16,784,970 of public warrants and 900,000 of private warrants outstanding as of each of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company consolidates certain VIEs when it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company holds variable interests in certain entities that are VIEs which are not consolidated, as it is determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s involvement with such entities is generally in the form of direct equity interests in, and fee arrangements with, the entities in which it also serves as the general partner or managing member. The Company evaluated its variable interests in the VIEs and determined it is not considered the primary beneficiary of the entities primarily because it does not have interests in the entities that could potentially be significant. No reconsideration
events that caused a change in the Company’s consolidation conclusions occurred during either the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total unfunded commitments from the special limited partner and general partners to the unconsolidated VIEs were $47.7 million and $42.1 million, respectively. These commitments are the primary source of financing for the unconsolidated VIEs.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the VIEs in which the Company holds a variable interest but does not consolidate. The assets recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition relate to the Company’s interests in and management fees, incentive fees and third party costs receivables from these non-consolidated VIEs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Partnership Interest in Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC
Payments and settlements for partnership interest awards to the employees are made by GCMH Equityholders. As a result, the Company records a non-cash profits interest compensation charge and an offsetting deemed contribution to equity (deficit) to reflect the payments or settlements made or owed by the GCMH Equityholders. Since payments or settlements are made by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH. Any liability related to the awards is recognized at Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC as Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC is the party responsible for satisfying the obligation, and is not shown in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has recorded deemed contributions to equity (deficit) from Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC of $13.4 million and $15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $55.0 million and $89.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for partnership interest-based compensation expense which was or will ultimately be paid or settled by Holdings, Holdings II or Management LLC.
GCMH Equityholders have modified awards to certain individuals upon their voluntary retirement or intention to retire as employees. These awards generally include a stated target amount that, upon payment, terminates the recipient’s rights to future distributions and allows for a lump sum buy-out of the awards, at the discretion of the managing member of Holdings,
Holdings II, and Management LLC. The awards are accounted for as partnership interest-based compensation at the present value of these expected future payments, in the period the employees accepted the offer. The Company recognized $18.5 million in partnership interest-based compensation expense related to award modifications for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and none was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (other than as discussed for the Holdings Awards below).
The liability associated with awards that contain a stated target has been retained by Holdings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and is re-measured at each reporting date, with any corresponding changes in liability being reflected as employee compensation and benefits expense of the Company. No recipients had unvested stated target payments as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense of $4.2 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $9.0 million and $17.9 million for the nine months September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to profits interest awards that are in substance profit-sharing arrangements.
GCMH Equityholders Awards
In the year ended December 31, 2022, GCMH Equityholders entered into agreements that will transfer equity ownership between certain existing employee members of the GCMH Equityholders (“GCMH Equityholders Awards”). The GCMH Equityholders Awards will entitle recipients to receive Class A common stock upon vesting. The non-cash awards serve to transfer equity ownership from existing GCMH Equityholders to other existing member employees upon vesting. The GCMH Equityholders Awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders and do not impact cash flows of the Company. The GCMH Equityholders Awards are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. The awards generally will vest in May 2025 and do not entitle the recipients to dividends or distributions made on Class A common stock during the vesting period. As such, the fair value of the GCMH Equityholders Awards is based on the closing price of Class A common stock on the accounting grant date less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the vesting period. GCMH Equityholders can settle the awards at various dates after vesting by exchanging outstanding GCMH common units or by otherwise acquiring and delivering Class A common stock, and therefore the vesting of such awards will not dilute Class A common stockholders. As such, the expense that is pushed down to GCMH and the offsetting deemed contribution are each attributed solely to noncontrolling interests in GCMH, consistent with the accounting for payments to employees described above. The GCMH Equityholders Awards of 7,169,415 units had an aggregate grant date fair value of $53.4 million, or an average grant date fair value of $7.45 per unit. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the GCMH Equityholders Awards of $5.5 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $16.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested GCMH Equityholders Awards was $12.7 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 0.6 years.
Holdings Awards
On May 9, 2023, Holdings entered into amended and restated participation certificates with existing employee members (“Holdings Awards”). The Holdings Awards entitle recipients to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings, as well as a profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after certain threshold distributions to other members. Pursuant to ASC 505, the Holdings Awards will be recognized as compensation expense with a corresponding deemed contribution and are accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation as the awards have characteristics that are more akin to the risks and rewards of equity ownership in Holdings. These awards do not dilute Class A common stockholders or impact net cash flows of the Company.
Certain of these existing employee members were previously awarded target amounts that entitled them to a stated percentage, or minimum allocable share, of distributions from Holdings until they received a sum certain. Those target amounts represented by those sums, which were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation, were reduced to zero in the amended and restated participation certificates. As a result, target amounts that were previously recorded as partnership interest-based compensation were reversed, while partnership interest-based compensation associated with the amended and restated participation certificates is recorded.
The Holdings Awards had an aggregate grant date fair value of $155.5 million, which was partially offset when recognized in expense by $80.0 million target amounts reversed during the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the
Holdings Awards was determined by a third-party valuation firm utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis for the minimum allocable share and a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds from dispositions of Holdings properties after the threshold distributions. Significant valuation inputs and assumptions included Holdings projected financial information and distributions, an estimated 10 year holding period, a 15.4% cost of equity, a 13.0% weighted average cost of capital, a 35% volatility assumption, the likelihood of a defined conversion event, a 40% discount for lack of marketability, and the fair value of reference properties that determine the threshold distributions for the profits interest with respect to net sale proceeds. The resulting fair value of the Holdings Awards is pushed down from Holdings to the Company and recorded as compensation expense. A portion of the Holdings Awards were vested upon grant, resulting in immediate expense recognition. The Company recognized partnership interest-based compensation expense related to the Holdings Awards of $3.7 million and $11.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.8 million and $54.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. A portion of the Holdings Awards will vest and are being expensed over a requisite service period through December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Holdings Awards was $3.7 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average period of 0.3 years.

Other consists of employee compensation and benefits expense related to deferred compensation programs and other awards that represent investments made in GCM Funds on behalf of the employees.

Equity [Abstract]  
Equity-Based Compensation Equity-Based Compensation
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 2.0 million equity-classified RSUs and 1.5 million liability-classified RSUs with aggregate grant date fair values of $17.4 million and $13.2 million, respectively, to certain employees. The liability-classified RSUs are either classified as liabilities because they are required to be settled in cash or because the Company has the right to and intends to (as of the grant date or September 30, 2024, as applicable) settle the RSUs partially or wholly in cash. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company reclassified 2.0 million RSUs from liability-classified to equity-classified based on management’s intent to settle the awards in shares of Class A common stock.
The majority of liability-classified awards outstanding as of December 31, 2023 were granted in October 2023, vested on March 1, 2024 and were delivered on April 15, 2024. Other awards generally vest either (a) one-third at the grant date with the remainder over two years in equal annual installments or (b) over a one to three year period. Upon delivery, the Company may withhold the number of shares to satisfy the statutory withholding tax obligation and deliver the net number of resulting shares vested.

Senior Loan
On January 2, 2014, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan facility (“Senior Loan”), which was subsequently amended through several debt modifications.
In 2021, the Company amended its Senior Loan to extend the maturity date to February 24, 2028 and increased the aggregate principal amount thereunder to $400.0 million (“2028 Term Loans”).
Through June 30, 2023, the 2028 Term Loans had an interest rate margin of 2.50% over the LIBOR, subject to a 0.50% LIBOR floor. On June 29, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No. 7 to the Credit Agreement to incorporate changes for the contemplated transition to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and on July 1, 2023, in conjunction with a Benchmark Transition Event, the interest rate defaulted to the Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment of 0.11% as recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body (all terms as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
On May 21, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase and extend the 2028 Term Loans. The amendment increased the aggregate principal amount from $388.0 million to $438.0 million, extended the maturity date from February 24, 2028 to February 25, 2030 (as increased and extended, the “2030 Term Loans”), decreased the interest rate margin to 2.25% over Term SOFR, and removed the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment of 0.11%. As a result of the amendment and extension, the Company capitalized $0.4 million of debt issuances costs related to payments to lenders, which is recorded within debt in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, and expensed $3.0 million of third-party costs which is recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, the Company recorded an expense of $0.2 million related to the partial extinguishment of certain lenders, which is recorded within other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
From June 30, 2021 until May 21, 2024 quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million were required to be made toward the 2028 Term Loans (less any reduction for prior or future voluntary or mandatory prepayments of principal). As part of Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1.1 million are required to be made toward the 2030 Term Loans beginning July 1, 2024 (less any reduction for prior or future voluntary or mandatory prepayments of principal).
In addition to the scheduled principal repayments, the Company is required to offer to make prepayments of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (“Cash Flow Payments”) no later than five days following the date the quarterly financial statements are due if the leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Cash Flow Payments were calculated as defined in the Senior Loan agreement based on a percentage of calculated excess cash. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company was not required to offer to make any Cash Flow Payments.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $436.9 million and $389.0 million of 2028 Term Loans were outstanding, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 7.75% and 7.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively.
Under the credit and guaranty agreement governing the terms of the Senior Loan, the Company must maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit and guaranty agreement also contains other covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt and restrict the Company and its subsidiaries ability to merge or consolidate, or sell or convey all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have executed a pledge agreement (“Pledge Agreement”) and security agreement (“Security Agreement”) with the lenders of the Senior Loan. Under the Pledge Agreement, GCMH Equityholders and IntermediateCo have agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by pledging its interests in GCMH as collateral against the repayment of the Senior Loan, and GCMH has agreed to secure the obligations under the Senior Loan by granting a security interest in and continuing lien on the collateral described in the Security Agreement. The Pledge Agreement and Security Agreement will remain in effect until such time as all obligations relating to the Senior Loan have been fulfilled.
Credit Facility
Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Loan, the Company entered into a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility maturity date was extended from February 24, 2026 to February 24, 2028 as part of the Amended Credit Agreement No. 8, and carries an unused commitment fee of up to 0.50% per annum. There were no outstanding borrowings related to the Credit Facility as of each of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Other
Certain subsidiaries of the Company agree to jointly and severally guarantee, as primary obligors and not merely as surety guarantees the obligations of their parent entity, GCMH.
Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. These amounts were recorded within interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The carrying value of the Senior Loan, excluding the unamortized debt issuance costs presented as a reduction to the principal balance, approximated the fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As the Senior Loan was not accounted for at fair value, it was not included in the Company’s fair value hierarchy in Note 5, however had it been included, it would have been classified in Level 2.

In February 2021, the Company terminated derivative instruments which were entered into in 2017. In October 2022, the Company terminated derivative instruments which were entered into in 2021 and received $40.3 million of cash for the fair market value of the interest rate swaps at termination. The amounts previously recorded as hedges in AOCI will remain in AOCI and will be recorded in interest expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) over the original lives of the derivative instruments.
The Company reclassified $1.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and $5.7 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, from AOCI to interest expense relating to the derivative instruments terminated that initially qualified for hedge accounting. The net impact of these reclassifications decreased interest expense for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Effective on November 1, 2022, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made for the 2028 Term Loans that has a notional amount of $300 million and a fixed rate of 4.37%. The swap agreement and the 2028 Term Loans had a 0.50% LIBOR floor through June 30, 2023 and defaulted to Term SOFR plus a Benchmark Replacement Adjustment on July 1, 2023 at the Benchmark Transition Event as discussed in Note 11. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms and remained an effective cash flow hedge at and following the Benchmark Transition Event.
Effective on May 31, 2024, the Company entered into a swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made for the increase in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Term Loans that has a notional amount of $28.5 million and a fixed rate of 4.47%. The swap agreement and 2030 Term Loans have a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms.
On May 23, 2024, the Company entered into a forward-starting swap agreement to hedge interest rate risk related to payments made during the extended maturity of the 2030 Term Loans that has an effective date of February 2028, a notional amount of $317.0 million, and a fixed rate of 4.17%. The forward-starting swap agreement and 2030 Term Loans have a 0.50% Term SOFR floor. The swap was determined to be an effective cash flow hedge at inception based on a comparison of critical terms.
The fair values of the interest rate swaps are based on observable market inputs and represent the net amount required to terminate the positions, taking into consideration market rates and non-performance risk. Refer to Note 5 for additional information.
During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $6.1 million from AOCI to interest expense, which will decrease interest expense, including the impact of the swap terminations.

Leases
The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for office space. The Company leases office space in various countries around the world and maintains its headquarters in Chicago, Illinois, where it leases primary office space. The leases contain rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses. When determining the lease term, the Company generally does not include options to renew as it is not reasonably certain at contract inception that the Company will exercise the option(s). As the implicit rate is not generally readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments.
In January 2024, the Company executed an agreement to lease office space for its United Kingdom office. The new space will replace the Company’s existing United Kingdom office space. The Company gained access to this space in January 2024 and established the ROU asset and lease liability. Total future lease payments are expected to be $2.8 million over 5.0 years. The lease contains rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses and a 10 month rent concession.
In June 2024, the Company executed an amendment to its lease agreement for our Chicago, Illinois office. The amended lease agreement provides access to temporary office space from October 2024 until September 2025, shortens the lease term for certain existing office space from September 2026 to September 2025, which will result in a one-time early termination fee, and extends the lease term of remaining existing office space from September 2026 to September 2037. As a result of the amended lease agreement the Company remeasured the existing ROU asset and lease liability based on the terms of the amended lease agreement. Total future lease payments are expected to be $16.7 million over 12.9 years, which is net of the landlord provided tenant improvement allowance of up to $8.0 million, as specified in the lease. The lease contains rent escalation clauses based on increases in base rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses and a 12 month rent concession.
The components of operating lease expense recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) were as follows:

The Company had $86.4 million and $85.6 million of unfunded investment commitments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, representing general partner capital funding commitments to several of the GCM Funds.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts that contain a number of representations and warranties, which may provide for general or specific indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these contracts is not currently known, as any such exposure would be based on future claims, which could be made against the Company. The Company’s management is not currently aware of any such pending claims and based on its experience, the Company believes the risk of loss related to these arrangements to be remote.
From time to time, the Company is a defendant in various lawsuits related to its business. The Company’s management does not believe that the outcome of any current litigation will have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Risks
The Company may be exposed to a risk of loss by virtue of certain subsidiaries serving as the general partner of GCM Funds organized as limited partnerships. As general partner of a GCM Fund organized as a limited partnership, the Company’s subsidiaries that serve as the general partner have exposure to risk of loss that is not limited to the amount of its investment in such GCM Fund. The Company cannot predict the amount of loss, if any, which may occur as a result of this exposure; however, historically, the Company has not incurred any significant losses and management believes the likelihood is remote that a material loss will occur.

In regard to the following related party disclosures, the Company’s management cannot be sure that such transactions or arrangements would be the same to the Company if the parties involved were unrelated and such differences could be material.
The Company provides certain employees partnership interest awards which are paid or settled by Holdings, Holdings II and Management LLC. Refer to Note 9 for further details.
The Company has a sublease agreement with Holdings. Because the terms of the sublease are identical to the terms of the original lease, there is no impact to net income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company incurs certain costs, primarily related to accounting, client reporting, investment-decision making and treasury-related expenditures, for which it receives reimbursement from the GCM Funds in connection with its performance obligations to provide investment management services. The Company also incurs certain costs, primarily related to employee benefits and travel, for which it receives reimbursement from Holdings. Due from related parties in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition includes net receivables from GCM Funds of $7.3 million and $13.5 million and from Holdings of less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, paid on behalf of affiliated entities that are reimbursable to the Company.
Our executive officers, senior professionals, and certain current and former employees and their families invest on a discretionary basis in GCM Funds, and such investments are generally not subject to management fees and performance fees. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, such investments and future commitments were $417.1 million and $377.5 million in aggregate, respectively.
Certain employees of the Company have an economic interest in an entity that is the owner and landlord of the building in which the principal headquarters of the Company are located.
The Company utilizes the services of an insurance broker to procure insurance coverage, including its general commercial package policy, workers’ compensation and professional and management liability coverage for its directors and officers. Certain members of Holdings have an economic interest in, and relatives are employed by, the Company’s insurance broker.
From time to time, certain of the Company’s executive officers utilize a private business aircraft, including an aircraft wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings. Additionally, the Company arranges for the use of the private business aircraft through a number of charter services, including entities predominantly or wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings. The Company paid, net of reimbursements, $0.6 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, to utilize aircraft and charter services wholly owned or controlled by members of Holdings, which is recorded within general, administrative and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
In an internal restructuring effective January 1, 2024, GCMH acquired from its general partner, IntermediateCo, the equity interests in GCM, L.L.C. held by IntermediateCo for cash consideration in the amount of approximately $2.0 million. The transaction was completed in accordance with the terms of a transfer agreement. IntermediateCo, a wholly owned subsidiary of GCM Grosvenor Inc., acquired GCM, L.L.C. in connection with the Transaction for nominal consideration and continues to control GCM, L.L.C. indirectly as general partner of GCMH.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate used for interim periods is based on the tax effect of items recorded discretely in the interim period in which those items occur. The effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to income tax and allocation of tax benefit to noncontrolling interest; therefore, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is expected a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21% and 16% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 55% and (21)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. These rates were different than the statutory rate primarily due to the portion of income allocated to the noncontrolling interest holders, including profits interest expense, as well as a valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets and discrete tax adjustments recorded in the periods.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $1.0 million in unrecognized tax positions and believes there will be no material changes to the uncertain tax benefits related to its uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months.

When applying the if-converted method to calculate the potential dilutive impact of the exchangeable common units of the Partnership, the earnings (loss) per share numerator adjustment reflects the net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in GCMH, as reported, adjusted for the hypothetical incremental provision for income taxes that would have been recorded by the Company if the units had been converted.
Shares of the Company’s Class C common stock do not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class C common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following outstanding potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders because their impact would have been antidilutive for the periods presented:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all necessary adjustments (which consists of only normal recurring items) have been made to fairly present the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the interim periods presented. Results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; and
Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable and require significant management judgment or estimation.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and fees receivable approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investments
Investments
Investments primarily consist of investments in GCM Funds and other funds the Company does not control, but is deemed to exert significant influence, and are generally accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities, which reflects the net asset value of such investments. Management believes the net asset value of the funds is representative of fair value. The resulting gains and losses are included as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
The Company’s equity method investments in the GCM Funds investing in private equity, real estate and infrastructure (“GCM PEREI Funds”) are valued based on the most recent available information, which typically has a delay of up to three months due to the timing of financial information received from the investments held by the GCM PEREI Funds. The Company records its share of capital contributions to and distributions from the GCM PEREI Funds within investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition during the three-month lag period. To the extent that management is aware of material events that affect the GCM PEREI Funds during the intervening period, the impact of the events would be disclosed in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Certain subsidiaries which hold the general partner capital interest in the GCM Funds are not wholly owned, and as such, the portion of the Company’s investments owned by limited partners in those subsidiaries are reflected within noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
For certain other debt investments, the Company has elected the fair value option. Such election is irrevocable and is made at the investment level at initial recognition. The debt investments are not publicly traded and are a Level 3 fair value measurement. For investments carried at fair value, the Company records the increase or decrease in fair value as investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 scopes in entities with a single reportable segment and requires those entities to provide all disclosures required in Topic 280, requires that current annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets also be provided in interim periods and requires other various new disclosures. Enhanced reporting requirements for all entities includes disclosure of (1) significant segment expenses, (2) the title and position of the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) and (3) how the CODM uses disclosed measure(s) of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and allocating resources. This guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies are required to apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this guidance and currently expects that adoption will result in new disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures including disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, additional disclosures about income taxes paid, and disclosure of pre-tax income or loss from continuing operations disaggregated between domestic and foreign income or loss. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Companies should provide the enhanced disclosures on a prospective basis, however retrospective application is
permitted. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating this guidance and currently expects that adoption will result in enhanced income tax disclosures.
